Holding Bitcoin for long-term is risky?

[LUCKMCFLY]

Hodl is good for me, I'm not worried about things, I'm just taking a slow approach to things, I don't worry because the bitcoin movements are safe, they are what I should do, when I think about bitcoin and hodl I see it as the safest investment in the world, because I know that my money is somehow being built for more in the future, because right now it is Difficult to resist the expenses that are obligatory, but somehow you have to save the money now touch the ivnerion of Bitcoin, because there is the secret, we can't do anything else, those who like to speculate with the prices of Bitcoin because it is their decision, if it goes down win with i down, if it goes up win by going up , here Things are like that in bitcoin, there is no other way, but I think it is risking a lot of capital, it is only Safest, what you Should have is Patience.

Many people like to leave Bitcoin in HODL , since it is something that we will always have as our first option, especially when we do not know anything about Trading , Personally I do tyranqding, but there are times when you do not have an understanding of the market as Well, it has to Stop.

I think Holding Bitcoin for a long time is not risky, but there might be less profit if i don't do trade.. So, to make a good profit from BTC we must do the short-term trade as well.

What do you think?

Hmm, It's quite an old topic so I won't enforce any words on it but OP I think if you are still active with the thread I'm sure your perspective might have changed already years ago haha.

I say something, we are all thinking people, the majority of us have been living for years because of some things that have us in a system where they tell us that we should study , work and live on a pension but now things are not like that, because basically when It is about making things much easier, living on a salary that is all Under a Financial state like the local FIAT or International like the dollar because it is something that affects a lot, in this order of ideas we could think about doing other things, But the way one has to think about bitcoin, that investing in bitcoin is a ris k, is something that cannot be Considered in the slightest.

In fact, in a possible scenario that bitcoin falls to less than $10k, what you have to do is buy and buy bitcoin, because when it decides to rise in price, it is likely that it could reach around $200k, and this taking a very Exaggerated Scenario, where I am basically putting extreme conditions, this is something that is considered but that has to be seen in other things , that is why it will never be a risk in life, quite the Opposite , the person who Invests in Bitcoin is an intelligent person .

Bitcoin is more profitable when you are holding it for a long time. Some people invest in Bitcoin for a short-term profit, which may not really earn them a huge profit compared to when they hold until an all-time high is met. For example, towards the end of 2022, the price of bitcoin was around $15k, but around January–February of 2023, the price increased to about $20k+. There were different investors who bought bitcoin when the price was $15k, and some of those investors sold when the price got to $20k, while others are still holding till now that the price is $42k. My question now is: between those that bought $15k and then sold at $20k and those that sold at $45k, who made more profit?

Investing in Bitcoin is about patience, and those that actually hold for a long time will make more profit than those that sold quickly when they only accumulated a little profit.

What the OP said reminds me of the discussion I had with a friend online when we were talking about the market when advised her to buy Bitcoin instead of altcoin, she asked me don't you think BTC is overhyped if you check the multiplier of some altcoin have already produce 100x.
My point is that it is sad that the majority of the crypto investors only care about profit instead of the BTC technology and I believe this is also the reason why OP considers holding BTC not to be more profitable than trading.

Holding Bitcoin is quite safe but it still has a risk. No crypto coins have no risk for holding, every crypto coin is risky. But Bitcoin is the most recommended coin, it has a big role in crypto industry. Bitcoin is also the main coin in crypto space. So, we can feel safe to put our money in Bitcoin.

Well, if we have skills in trading, it is no problem to trade Bitcoin, too. However, not everyone has the intention to trade Bitcoin. Some people prefer to hold Bitcoin only.

Bitcoin is very risky for long-term retention if it reaches high price values. Then, due to the high volatility of bitcoin and the incoming negative information, it is very likely that the onset of panic and bitcoin can quickly become practically devalued.
The retention of bitcoin is best combined with periodic trade, with a clear increase and decrease in its rate. This will bring a good extra profit.

Well, I have always said something, because I have determined that every 4 years it is very likely that there will be a bullish movement and it will probably happen again, so these types of things are what should be considered, of course each person has their own way of thinking. and that is respected, but in my chaos I will always see this as an opportunity, so I could never see bitcoin investing as a risk, therefore the moment someone spends so much time hodling bitcoin, it will probably bring a great result, because these types of things can make a difference, I personally would say that every time you have options to win it is with this investment, regardless of whether others want to buy other cryptos, other alts because it is their problem, For me what makes the difference is bitcoin.

When bitcoin rises, it will do so in a big way, as I have said every time bitcoin reaches a new ATH, the profits for those who have bought for a long time will be very profitable with the amount of profits they will Obtain.

Every investment has it's risk because we really don't know how it will turn out in the future, including Bitcoin. But so far it has proven itself already, the OP's thread is 2018, when the market is at the start of the bear market and probably this is what he said that it has risk because price is going down and maybe he or someone he knew brought Bitcoin during it's high or or around that price.

Nevertheless, we've seen in the last bull run that we have reach new all time high of $69k. And now we are in the bull market again, and so if we just stay on the market, buy and HODL and simply invest, don't make things complicated on our end by like trading, although I don't have anything against short term trader, but its not fore everyone.

So long term has risk, but if you know how to handle it, you will be good with Bitcoin.

Nothing like that. I consider Bitcoin the safest. However, there is no team behind it. But it is still the most alive. Which impacts the entire crypto market. Mostly I have seen people buying it at falling prices. Those who wait for a long time and sell in a rising market.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes, indeed that is what we always seek to have, I am very optimistic about BTC, what I know is that the confidence we can have in this cryptoactive will always be very attractive and it is the only one that has a life of its own, I have always said that things when it comes to how to make crypto survive, well it is bitcoin, I have seen how some crypto fall and go to zero, but the probabilities of bitcoin doing something like that I do not see, it is possible, yes, but for now I see that bitcoin is gaining incredible strength, it is something that I had not seen with Such Intensity , there is already talk About bitcoin ETF´s, and that was before when it was Talked about like this? Never, those are the things that we must know and buy, because this is the future.

I have always said, as long as you have bitcoin you can make a good life and by Buying now because it is Relatively cheap, well, even more so, this is what we should do to make things flow very well, there is no other way.

good boy! for short-term trading you must be someone who knows how to read charts, who knows how to obtain important information that can move the market and many other parameters to take into consideration.
HODL is much safer, especially if done wisely!
We are currently not very far from the last ATH, and the bitcoin halving is getting closer and closer and I believe that in the post halving it is the time to make decisions, hold on or sell smartly.
But having said that, I agree with you, holding bitcoin can be risky but just keep an eye on it and you won't get hurt

For an investor to make a good profits out of their Bitcoin investment, they should learn how to hodl bitcoin for long term. Thinking of trading as the best way to make profits for short term in bitcoin is highly risk and it is not encourage for one who have less knowledge of trading because it requires expertise for someone to make profits from it.

I can't advice someone to start up trading no matter how profitable it is. I would rather advice the person to invest in bitcoin and hodl for long because that's less risky than trading

It seems like you are an accomplished investor because you can understand that Bitcoin is not suitable for short-term trading.
But don't be mistaken, friends, because every Bitcoin transaction on every exchange and blockchain is a trade and that means trading Bitcoin every day is very good.
But I also agree with you because daily trading really makes us nervous and panic easily because the portfolio tends to go up and down very quickly, in contrast to the long term where even if it goes down 50% for Bitcoin it doesn't matter because the supply is small enough to make Bitcoin this will continue to rise.

Hold for long term is good way , and not risky, because we know bitcoin price will always increase every four years.
But If you want to gain in short term , we can do daily trading.
Daily trading needs experience and skill.
But you have free time to do.
Honestly, I have done both, hold for long term, and when I have free time I will do trading.
It depends on the market condition.

You discuss two different investment strategies wisely. Holding Bitcoin long-term can be profitable given its history of rising values, while day trading does require a fair amount of skill and time. A combination of long-term and short-term approaches can provide diversification and flexibility in a portfolio. Keeping an eye on market conditions and following a strategy that suits your investment goals is important.
